I agree regarding Morales and Much. My suggestions which are probably wrong would be the following. Amir Bell is a wonderful young man but I do not believe that he has strong leadership skills even though he has taken on the role of Spencer Weisz. During the course of the year, I would turn to Devin to take over the team as he has the will to win just like Weisz and Cook -- they neeed it.
As to rotation, I would go thru growing pains and go with the following:
Guards -- Cannady, Bell and Morales -- no more Young
Forwards -- Stephens, Much and I would go more athletic with Desrosiers and/or Barnes as a back up. I would not play Schweiger or Leblanc much as they are simply not quick enough --- sad for Leblanc
Center -- Arirguzoh, Much and occasionally Gladson but not too much as he is simply too slow of foot and does not hit open 3 pointers. Brennan no more
Coach needs to sit down with Stephens. He has lost some confidence and he is not shutting down the opposing team. Played a lot harder in the 2nd half but he needs to step up defensively for 35 minutes.
My thought is to go young -- make mistakes but play guys who can conceivably get you to the next level. The old Princeton offense probably does not work with this group so go athletic.
Finally, Cannady is simply a player -- he will become or is the heart and soul of this team. He is ferocious not particularly a great defender but a winner. Ride him for as long as you can -- he will not disappoint.
I am probably wrong but sometimes, you need to take a step back to go two steps forward.
